proved the turning Doint Of business for

regard to x-Secretary L~incoln's aversion
to the idea OF being a candidate For the
presidency. He say
No one can doubt the absolute sincerity
OF the eX-secretary in protesting against
any movement being made in his behalf.
He implores his friends il they nave any re-
gard for him not to think OF or mention.
the matter. He has no desire to enter
the White House again in any capacity.
Indeed he seems to have a horror Of
the place. His presence there after the as
sa~ssination OF his father and again after
the shooting OF President Garfield has
caused him to associate thoughts OF vio-
lence and death with the presidential Office
OF which he cannot rid himself. 1t is be-
lieved that he has q superstitious feeling
that il he were elected president he would
himself be in danger OF assassination. To
